Candidates for Endovenous Laser Treatment Video

Who is a candidate for endovenous laser treatments for varicose veins removal?

I think same patients who were candidates for the old procedure ligation and stripping. The procedure usually lasts between half an hour and 45 minutes, and after these 45 minutes, we wrap the leg and you go out walking and back to your normal life.
